Arrival :: Arrivage :: Llegada

I arrived in Montreal, Canada in May 1986 when spring was hiding what was to come. I completed a BFA in 1993 at Concordia University where I graduated with Distinction; I graduated with a minor in Textile Arts and two children. I passed all my ESL courses thanks to my friend Gabriel’s great patience with my Frida Kahlo obsession and my very long sentences. I attempted a Master’s Degree in Maîtrise en arts visuels et médiatiques at the UQAM. It did not go so well. I decided to let go of the notions of being perfectly ready and set myself to create uncompromisingly.
